I am now in the fortunate but tragic position of having read a book so perfect I have no idea what to read next. Do I go back to perfection with another Austen? Attempt something fun and mindless? Or go for non-fiction for a total gear change??

⭐️ My Top 10 of 2024! ⭐️ It was a rough reading year for me, feel like I never quite got out of the slump. But some were brilliant sparks in the fog ❤️❤️ Here's to a great 2025!

Fantasy/Hist-Fic readers! I'm looking for some books that have REALLY good opening chapters. Drama, intrigue, mystery, devastation, whichever books that have really nailed the beginning. Mine sometimes feel flat and I'm looking to study 🧐 Thank you! ❤️

After the article, more book recommendations for teen boy readers have come in from you lovely people, so I've made a couple more lists. Again, I'm trying to keep these to titles published in the last 10 years (with the occasional exception). Any more recs, please share!
Joel/JJ Arcanjo@Joelarcanjo
The discussion on this thread has thrown up a number of excellent recommendations for teen boy readers, so im including a list of those here. I'm keeping it to recently published books/ongoing series rather than books published 10+ years ago. If you have more, please share them!

At Max Mins Portishead there were a handful of boys 11-15 who LOVED reading but found it really hard to find books for them. They were some of our fave customers and we loved keeping them well-stocked, but were definitely running out of options. Please keep books coming! ❤️

On the back of this thread, I got the opportunity to write about the desperate lack of books for teen boys in @thebookseller. Massive thanks to @mollyflatt for letting me write on an issue I'm hugely passionate about. Link: tinyurl.com/3mwnrczs

Pals, are we ready to have the 'there is nothing out there for teen boy readers' discussion yet? Because the more I hear 'I can't find anything I like' from them during my school visits, the more I grow convinced publishing has forgotten about the post-Middle Grade boys.

Three Hours is SUCH a brilliant book. Gripping, tense, emotional, timely and heartbreaking. 10/10 would recommend

I’m in this article @guardian about how median author pay has fallen 60% since 2012: theguardian.com/books/2024/oct…
What the piece doesn’t get into is *why* author pay has fallen when revenues across publishing are the highest they’ve ever been.
So here’s a bit more about that 🧵
